Christmas in LA
Green/Dorritee of The Bobs (adapted Rick Pollay)

Slow and lyrical waltz

Santa's helpers in the mall
New graffiti on the wall
We're wandering in urban sprawl
        It's Christmas in LA
See the mansions of the stars
Valet elves are parking cars
Reindeer strippers in the bars
        It's Christmas in LA

Br: I dream of trees and ornaments and a crackling yule log.
The lights below are twinkling ‘cause they’re in a killer smog.

Those who can have hit the slopes
After office party gropes
Leaving us with only hopes
        It's Christmas in LA
Padding out expense accounts
Silicone with extra bounce
Buy a pound - get an (extra) ounce
        It's Christmas in LA

Br:        When you’re on the LA freeways, you hear music in the air.
        Horns and car alarms are sounding. No one seems to care.

Even if you’re movie sucks
You’ll have made a lot of bucks
And still afford your tummy tucks
        It's Christmas in LA
Snowballs made of Styrofoam
Plastic trees in every home
All the kids are home alone
        It's Christmas in LA

And Heard on a later recorded version

Take this with a grain of salt
They have frozen Uncle Walt
Don’t know if it’s Goofy’s fault
        It’s Christmas in LA
